Abbie Lee's passion for design began at a young age. She was greatly influenced by the Classical Southern Architecture in Alabama where she was raised. Later Abbie Lee went on to get her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee. She also studied architecture abroad at Temple University in Rome, Italy. During her time in Italy she was inspired by the innovation, timelessness, and beauty of Renaissance Architecture. Abbie Lee has been practicing architecture over the past 14 years at firms in New York City, Atlanta, and Chapel Hill. Her experience led her to work on a broad range of projects from U.S. Embassies, The 911 Memorial Museum, Luxury Apartments, and high-end custom residential work. She has completed projects in Key West, FL; Charleston, SC; Cary, NC; Geneva, Switzerland; New Haven, CT; and Manhattan.
